The eighth auiuial tea party and eiiter- taiuuiuut ill cuuuectiou with tlie Clitheroe


Co-operative Society was held ou Saturday last, when about 700 persons assembled for tea wliicli was serveij iu the •Sunday School. Moor Ltuie. This number was not quite up lo iSverage of recent years. The wants of this large assembly were ellideiUly catered for liy a large staff ol voluntary w.irkers. and the i.ables were presided over and tlie work of cutting-up etc. jierfnrmcd by Mesdamcs Hoyle, Buck, Birlwell, Wilson, Burnett, Walker, Stones, C.

The Clitheroe Orpheus Baud was also iu attendance and rendered selections of music previous to tlie com­ mencement. The principal artistes in- eluderl Misses B. Cunliffe, Mary Fielden, and .Selina Pollard (sopranos); .Misses -M- Yoscall and Chadwick (contraltos); Messrs .M. Penrose. W. H. Rice, and Tom Hurley (tenors); Messrs. J. R. Allison and R. Dickinson (basses); Mr. Donald Cameron (humorist); and Miss Cltirlssa Nutter, L.L.C.M., was the accompanist.


After


the selection ■'Queen's Messenger” liy tlie orchestra, whicli met’ with much appreci­ ation, tire elioir opened the vocal portion witli a part-song •‘Comrades .Song of Hope" wliich was expressively given, and loudly applauded. Miss Pollard and .Mr. Hurley sang the duet, “ I’d rather not,” for which’ they received a well-merited encore, the item being one of the best of the even­ ing and ihev responded to the call. Tlio soloists possessed good voices and everyone deserves high praise for their efforts- Listening to tire singing of the choir was a iileasure. tlie voices blending liarmoni- ously togetlier. The sopranos confrilni- tions were “The Afoorish Maid,” Miss B. Cimiiffe; and “ Idle Words,” Miss M. P’ielding; the contraltos. “Love the Pedlar” Miss M. Yoscall; and “ Asthore.” Rfiss Cliadwick. Tlie tenor voices expressed tliemselvi-s in the songs, “The Maid of Malaliar.” Mr. Matt. Penrose; and “ Like .Stars Aliove,” Mr. W. H. Rice. Songs whicli require heavy voices were tastefully rendered liy Mr. j . ■■Vliison. "A .Soldier’s •Toast.” and 'Hie BaJidolero”, and Mr R. Dickinson. “ Drinking.” The choir g.avc


several part-songs in a very creditable manner, namely, “ fn zVntumn,” “Hunting •Song.” and “ ExeelsioP’ ; also a part-song for ladies voices. Mr. Donald Cameron was the humorist and proved himself to be a favourite. He kept the audience in constant laughter with his humorous songs and selections, and was rewarded with an encore for each item. His selections were Round llie World,” “The Song that broke mv heart," and “Naughty Boy.” The pro­ ceedings terminated about ten o’clock, after an enjoyable celebration.—Mr. H.

HarwixxJ Liberals ou .Saturday and Mon­ day was productive of billianjs of a first rate order.


After the plav, especially


Monday's games tlie rvonder is tliat Wlialley figure so far down in the league table. Langshaw gave a fine disiilay in wliich lie threw in a pretty break of over 30. Peters and Hargreaves, too, playeil a sound game and the latter deserverl six;ci:d mention for the praiseworthv manner in whicli lie ]ndled iris gltme out of the fire in face of advers­ ity. At one stage of the game, Ainsworth was learling Hargreaves liy -10. Wlien tire last game was iilayed, R. Mercer, senr. liad to score 35 in order to ensure victory for the visitors. He caught Cliew in tijr-top fonn. however, and it certainly seemed at one time a.s if “Bnli” would not reach 30. Chew made the utmost of tlie gv.me, and wont along at a good pace, his liest effort Ijoing a neat, clean Iireak of 3G. jfereer fluked the red, and to the disappoint­ ment of the home partisans “ nailed” the points; but he only reached 39 a.s, afler- wnrds, Ciiew monopolised the talrlc and went to his points.


ft is higlily probable tliat Harwood Lib­


erals and C'litheroe Conservatives will again tie for the championship, and that tliere will bo a replay for tlie shield. The Liberals’ remaining matches are against Low Moor and Barrow at liome, and Cli theroe Liberals at Wellgate. On the otlier hand the Clitheroe Conservatives have two remaining matches, both from home, viz, Clitheroe Weavers’ Institute land Great Harwood Conservatives.


Clitheroe Liberals secured the points in


their encounter rvilh the Weavers’ Instilnte The most notable games were between L Elack and Turner, SowerbnUs and .Sut­ cliffe, the visitors closely overliauling their opponents and making a grand fight for Die coveted century.


At Low Moor, tlie conclusion of


on Saturday niglu found Clithoroe Con- servtitives S2 points in tlie rear with three games remaining.
